Spark Up a Preemie Wardrobe at Red Sparks
Loobalee as Around the Web
Jun|27|2008
The idea behind RedSparks came from a concerned mom who had trouble finding clothes for her preemie daughter. They have some great variety here, as well as things that will fit your preemie that you can’t find elsewhere. They have a lot of items on sale, also, like this Pink Owl Kimono Dress for example:
The combo of pink and chocolate makes this dress the perfect girlie girl outfit. This looks adorable worn alone or matched with our sweet ruffle pants, or even a pair of jeans for that cool layered look. Made of 100% cotton, she’ll be the talk of the town in this number!
Preemies demand special attention, but that’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to find the right clothes for them. RedSparks might be a good place to start looking.

Uncommon Fun from ‘Uncommonly Cute’

Jun|19|2008
“No ducks, trucks, or puppies allowed” is the rule that governs Uncommonly Cute, an uncommonly fun brand of baby clothes, such as specialty t-shirts and onsies. I love Uncommonly Cute because they stick to principals in their designs that really work for today’s children and in today’s world: 
Uncommonly Cute’s t-shirts and onesies not only afford babies a sense of individual style-be they a Diva, a Rock Star or a Fashionista-but comfort as well. Each garment is made of 100% combed cotton and is super, super soft. Sure to delight the babies’ no-fuss, socially conscious moms, the clothes are all machine washable, safe, durable and made in sweatshop-free American studios.
Best of all, they are having a great Sale! Buy on-line from their website, and enjoy 40% off popular styles, such as the 2 year birthday tee shown here.
No ultra-edgy or suspicious quality here! Uncommonly Cute meets all of our criteria for recommending designer brand clothing. Which, in and of itself, makes Uncommonly Cute’s T-shirts and onesies uncommon these days.
